But what has comp cape done to the game? The stats make it a bit easier to kill things but if someone is not that good at pvm, they are not that good at pvm.
Well, for one thing, due to its supreme stats, people 'go for' the cape, actively trying to obtain it. The idea behind it, however, is that you simply earn it 'as you go along' while playing the game and eventually 'completing everything', at your leisure so to speak. But the active comp cape hunters create many problems; several activities are ruined, e.g. Castle Wars and Mobilising Armies, which these people afk or boost due to the higher (trimmed) comp cape requirements. Moreover, new content often creates new requirements, which leads to complaints and pointless back-and-forth discussions, and also prevents the developers from doing certain stuff they might like to do without having to thikn about the consequences for the cape. E.g. achievements can be made arbitrarily hard because they're just for fun, but other morsels of content cannot be due to the completionists. That kind of stuff.
If it's any consolation, the rework won't happen for a good while if ever, although it really should.
@Hiscores: decent idea, but that's for the web team, not the ninjas.
So your saying that Castle Wars was ruined because of Comp Capers and you actually expect them to play it manually over afking it? Sorry but that's like telling my kitten to stop ripping the fly screen (Which she doesnt!!)
